Check out the Self-Care animation and Wellbeing Planning Tool below – because it’s ok to prioritise our own self-care before helping others.

Our brains are incredible and responsible for every thought, feeling and memory. We know how to look after our heart but what about our brain?

Where scans have been cancelled due to #Covid, for many, the 'what ifs' and waiting is simply unbearable. For these people, access to meaningful support has never been more important. Help ensure we can be there for them - set up a regular donation today: buff.ly/3aPYedK

No surprise that @ELCouncil refusing all deferral funding requests so far. This is totally failing a cohort of children already missing so much nursery because of #covid. @MareeToddMSP we are begging you to make deferral funding fair in law. @GiveTimeScot – at North Berwick, Scotland
Sarah Gillanders retweeted
@Edinburgh_CC well done for doing the right thing by our children and allowing them a funded deferred year. – at North Berwick, Scotland

2) @MareeToddMSP this disparity has to be addressed NOW. Please, please can you create for fairness to our children by legislating for Aug-Dec birthdays to be funded NOW. This is a matter of urgency, particularly now. @GiveTimeScot @earlyyearsscot – at North Berwick, Scotland
Sarah Gillanders retweeted
1),So @ELCouncil you cannot, in all conscience deny any of this year's cohort a funded deferral year now? Everyone I have heard of has been denied so far keeping up worst track record in Scotland. @Edinburgh_CC used to be nearly as poor - have granted all deferrals. @MareeToddMSP – at North Berwick, Scotland

Thanks @Shaminakhtar can I ask which stakeholders are part of this process? What plans are there to support current parents seeking deferral - the ones I know have been refused so far - this is simply awful for parents who believed their children were unready for p1 pre-covid? – at North Berwick, Scotland
Antonia @ELCouncil have already passed a paper to carry our a review. All current requests are being looked at taking into account the current circumstances. More thank happy for you to get in touch on [email protected].

Thank you. There are lots of them. I will send you an email - @ELCouncil needs to urgently address the disparity between their policy and that of other local authorities. @gilbye23 @GiveTimeScot – at North Berwick, Scotland

2)... they have been begged for help by tens of constituents. This review cannot be a box ticking exercise used to reinforce existing unfair discriminatory policy. It needs proper scrutiny. Can we be reassured on this? @GiveTimeScot @Shaminakhtar – at North Berwick, Scotland
Sarah Gillanders retweeted
1)@Shaminakhtar no answer to my email? This is the week for appeals so must be acted on now. We are concerned about lack of public consultation and transparency around review. For example are local councillors being consulted - they have strong opinions... – at North Berwick, Scotland
